Healthy Living through Healthy Attitudes

Built in 1950, the East Akron YMCA is home to many different YMCA programs, most notably the YMCA Phoenix Programs, which began in 1991.

The Phoenix school is a fully accredited behavior-modification program, designed to serve as a coeducational alternative for adolescents ages 12-18, who are involved with the court system and/or have academic or behavioral problems. All credits earned while attending Phoenix will transfer to the student's home school.
